I am amazed at Shazam. I keep trying to find songs it DOESN'T know.

It would be great if there were an app that would make reading vBulletin forums (like FT) as easy as reading email. Ideally, it should take into consideration the multitude of ways that people read forums (keeping up with everything through the New Posts link, just checking New Subscribed Threads, checking New Posts in specific forums, etc.) so that we don't miss things. I think quite a few of us would pay for an app like that.

I have an ipod touch with:

Jawbreaker - Game
Crosswords lite
Remote - only tested this once and it was very impressive
Facebook - sort of neat but will only be more useful when I am travelling and have access to wireless rather than in my office
Palringo - going to be great whilst travelling and maybe at home

There is a travel tracker app that I would like to test but at A$36.99 it seems a little steep without being able to trial it :(

Facebook v2.0 has been released and is a great upgrade in functionality.

I agree 100%!

I stumped Shazam with Don Ho's "E Lei Ka Lei Lei" ^

I'm also eagerly anticipating Map My Run's iPhone app which is supposed to be out later in October. :D

I downloaded Pageonce 2 weeks ago and it is by far the best free application. Tracks all of your bank balances, credit cards charges, and more importantly all frequent flyer and hotel accounts! Like a better version of USAToday Miletracker but without the bugs (and no WinOS required).

LiveSportz and Sportacular are also good, though like others require WiFi

I am playing Spore now - great fun and makes me want to upgrade my home comp to get the full version :)

I just downloaded Asphalt 4 (car racing game - $9.95).

All of the sudden, my iPhone turned into a PSP. It was a true revelation! ^ ^

Pandora
Jackpot Casino
Jott
fring
Facebook 2.0

Second that ^

My number one app, and it's a real money saver, is BiteSMS. 6 cents per SMS to anywhere in the world, from anywhere in the world.

I also use Fring sometimes to Skype chat. For the rest, it's a phone and Ipod.

Hello Stimpy,

I tried to find "BiteSMS" on the Apple Store and I couldn't. I searched for "BiteSMS," "Bite," and "SMS" and counldn't find the exact application that you mentioned.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for letting me know.

David

David,

You get it from installer. Or go to bitesms.com

Favorite iPhone Application to play with while flying
 

I purchased an Apple iPhone3G about a month ago and am curious what everyone else is downloading as entertainment during your flights. There are many apps out there that are junk and I hope we can share some ideas on what some quality games/apps are. I check everyday for new apps hoping to find that next app to keep me busy during a delay! Below are a few of my favorites:

1) Photo Hunter - my favorite puzzle game finding differences on pictures
2) Enigmo - similar to lemmings if you remember that, but uses water droplets
3) VoiceNotes - store thoughts you may randomly come up with while flying
4) Pandora - live music streaming if you are online
5) AA - oh a life saver when forgetting to check-in online
